A Visit to Jean's House

I stopped over to my friend Jean's (Overmeyer)  house on Friday night for some brainstorming and she had some new finished projects....and she said it's OK to share them with ya....so here you go :)
I'll show you the pattern first....doing my due diligence :)

Check out Jean's I-Pad Bag...I love the colors she choose!

She used Texture Magic on the front and did some free motion quilting on the back.

This is the back....beautiful isn't it?
Jean credits watching Patsy Thompson Videos for her success with free motion quilting...I gotta get every one of those and practice so I can do this too :)
Recycling and re-purposing is one of my most favorite things to do.  When Jean told me what she used join the straps....I was tickled.   Can you guess what she used?  I'll put the photo of what she used at the end of this blog post.

The last time I visited Jean's house she had only one UFO (can you believe it?  a quilter with only one UFO..I didn't know they existed) and this time....she has no UFO's. 

This Yellow Cone Flower hangs in Jean's sewing studio....100% finished!!
Look at the variety of quilting Jean used ....I think it is so cool.


I love the feathers and leave combo...and the binding...that red just finishes the piece beautifully.
 
This is the pattern Jean used.

Ok...are you ready to see how the straps on the I-Pad bag were joined with?

This was a chain that used to hold a chandelier up....you gotta love it...re-purposing at its finest :)
 
I hope you enjoyed the post...I know I certainly enjoyed my visit to Jean's on Friday night!
 
Smiles,
Kelly
